Synopsis

We speak of grace often. But do we understand it? More important, do we truly believe in it . . . and do our lives proclaim it as powerfully as our words? In What's So Amazing About Grace?, award-winning author Philip Yancey explores grace at street level. If grace is God's love for the undeserving, he asks, then what does it look like in action? And if Christians are its sole dispensers, then how are we doing at lavishing grace on a cruel and pain-filled world? In fourteen sessions, this study guide will help you to interact deeply with Yancey's most personal and provocative book yet. If you're willing to leave your comfort zone to embrace a more vigorous, passionate Christianity -- read on. And prepare to grapple with grace and "un-grace" on a personal level. You'll consider how you can contend graciously with today's tough moral issues. And you'll discover how you can become Christ's answer to a world that desperately wants to know, What's So Amazing About Grace?

About this title

From the Publisher:

Award-winning author Philip Yancey has a way of toppling convention and getting at the truth. In What's So Amazing About Grace?, he turns his gift for inquiry to that most basic of all Christian tenets--grace. Grace is the church's great gift to the world, says Yancey. But do Christians really understand grace--and if we do, then why do we experience and show so little of it? Yancey sets grace in the midst of life's stark, often brutal realities to help readers discover the power of God's unrelenting love for sinners. This study guide will help readers apply the discoveries and challenges contained in Yancey's newest and most personal book.
